Digital Health

Monday Oct. 23

11 AM - 1 PM ET

WEBINAR
FORMAT
11 AM - 12 PM ET I Disease Management

What factors have contributed to the slower than anticipated take-up of digital health offerings in the management of chronic disease? Is AI going to finally tip the scale and lead to universal adoption of “connected health” strategies focused on digital therapeutics?

12 PM - 1 PM ET I Clinical Research, Trial Management and Wellness Care

Are health system payers and insurers prepared to reward software-driven patient self-care applications, particularly by recognizing prevention and wellness as an integral element of service -- and reimbursement -- provision?

Building on the demand for remote technology applications during the Covid-19 pandemic, digital health is enabling a realignment of health provision around integrative disease management combined with personalized wellness solutions – goals that will hopefully secure better outcomes for patients.

With rising levels of real-time and actionable data, backers of digital health also promise lower costs per episode of care as well as helping regulation and clinical management protocols become more targeted and efficient.

Of course, none of these transformative gains would be possible without this community of digital innovators, whose impact is registered by the 25 software apps and platforms, devices and diagnostics the Galien USA Awards Committee has nominated for 2023’s “best in class” – double the number from last year.

1 PM - 2 PM ET I Incubator, Accelerator and Equity

Incubator and accelerators are pivotal in developing innovative solutions to addressing humanity’s most pressing health care challenges. Why are academic institutes, major medical centers/hospitals, and the top 10 pharma companies launching incubators and accelerator ventures to offer guidance to biotech, digital health, health information, and medical device start-ups, often under their own umbrella? Beyond financial and intellectual resources, how are these groups working to advance ideas into the marketplace, and what is their actual clinical impact?

2 PM - 3 PM ET I Incubator, Accelerator and Equity

An innovator’s connection to a leadership accelerator, incubator, or private equity organization is a strong indicator of success. Financial support is part of the commitment, as are experience and business connections. How do these investment and counseling groups help start-ups with their clinical trial design, navigate regulatory and payer system complexities, or build ago to marketing plan? Beyond access to cash, what makes the innovator’s connection to an incubator, accelerator, or private equity group so critical to eventual success in the market?

12 PM- 1 PM ET I Lung, Gland, Soft Tissue, Blood and Skin Cancers

Assessing the current state of scientific progress in understanding the basic evolution of cancer as well as nominee experience in moving promising drug targets into clinical trials, regulatory approvals and market acceptance.

1 PM - 2 PM ET I Central Nervous System (CNS) Disorders

CNS drugs often take longer to develop and have lower success rates than other types of drug candidates. What strategies are nominees developing to “de-risk” novel CNS therapies and speed the pathway to clinical and market success?

2 PM - 3 PM ET I Infectious Diseases and Reproductive Health

With a global pandemic raising awareness of the importance of vaccines and anti-viral medicines, are private-sector R&D incentives aligned to meet growing market needs? Gauging unmet needs in women’s health therapeutics and promising new trends in research.

3 PM - 4 PM ET I Autoimmune, Metabolic and Genetic Diseases

Given the complex biological and genetic interrelationships that characterize autoimmune, metabolic and aged-based genetic disorders, how has research science progressed in ensuring patients with these conditions can benefit from a more personalized approach to treatment?

To mark the Prix Galien USA’s upcoming October 23-27 “Galien Week of Innovation”, members as well as guest experts of the Prix Galien Awards USA Committee will chair five webinars highlighting each of the 24 nominated products in the Best Pharmaceutical Product category.

These virtual panel exchanges will offer the opportunity for webinar participants to assess the current state of innovation in branded pharmaceuticals, covering key aspects of clinical progress and therapeutic differentiation; new access challenges, especially in a changing US market characterized, for the first time, by public price negotiations; and upcoming
developments in next-generation platform technologies, medicines and vaccines.

Top of mind will be the transformative – and possibly disruptive – effects of this new science on health system productivity and patient outcomes worldwide.
